UNSPSC 21101526: Farming excavator

Small farming vehicle with wheels or tracks which weighs less than 1 ton.

UNSPSC 21101526 Farming excavator is a Commodity code covering diesel-powered hydraulic excavators and related attachments that state and local governments procure for heavy earthmoving, site preparation, and infrastructure maintenance work. Recent solicitations reveal state and local agencies buying complete excavator units—including hinged-boom crawler models, backhoe loaders with camera systems, and mini excavators—as well as bucket and attachment accessories. The issuing-body mix spans state departments of transportation (notably Texas and California), county boards of supervisors and commissions (Texas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Pennsylvania), and city governments (Marietta, Georgia; Flowood, Mississippi). Equipment procurement dominates the recent activity; leasing and rental arrangements appear alongside outright purchase. TxDOT emerges as a repeat buyer, with multiple recent solicitations for excavator equipment and related attachments posted across its procurement portal.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and West. Texas leads with multiple TxDOT solicitations—a crawler excavator with hinged boom (response due July 31, 2026), backhoe backup camera systems for Caterpillar 430 loaders (July 21, 2026)—alongside ditching buckets (April 14, 2026). California has posted brand-specific 360-degree swivel attachment solicitations (June 26, 2026, and July 6, 2026). Florida counties (Orange, Collier) and Mississippi jurisdictions (Rankin, Flowood, Lauderdale, Newton, Tattnall) show consistent procurement activity for new and used mini excavators, track-type models, and full-size units; Lauderdale County solicited two small excavators with ditching buckets (February 24, 2026), Rankin County ran a reverse auction for used hydraulic excavators (June 3, 2026), and Newton County sought mini excavators (March 2, 2026). Georgia counties (Butts, Tattnall, Barrow) purchased heavy equipment through lease and purchase programs. Butts County's five-year heavy equipment lease (April 7, 2026) included one excavator and one mini excavator among multiple asset categories. Pennsylvania's Montgomery County sought equipment rentals with operator services on an as-needed basis (March 26, 2026). The code shows steady regional demand across construction, road and bridge maintenance, drainage infrastructure, and parks operations, with equipment specifications commonly emphasizing durability, warranty coverage, delivery timelines, and operator training.
